Iam

Ryu stood high in the skies with his hands clasped behind his back. He didn't seem to notice Adlael at all, as though he didn't care about his existence in the slightest.

With Ryu's abilities, it was impossible for him to have forgotten someone. Adlael didn't know this, but the result was just the same. If Ryu had forgotten him, then that just meant that he couldn't be bothered to keep space in his mind for someone so completely and wholly insignificant.

If anything, the fact that he did remember him only made the entire experience worse.

All the while, Ryu didn't have the time to mind Adlael's emotions. He was looking at the cloaked man that stood before the abyss.

By this point, Iam had also looked up. It was impossible that he hadn't noticed that the situation had fundamentally changed. But Ryu couldn't help but be impressed by this man's calmness. Even Ryu wasn't sure if he could be calm about such a thing.
